Brett... Personally, my favorite is one that I have just finished for a
client... now, the site isn't there yet ('cause I hate putting unfinished
work up).. but the splash page is - so they could get a feel for what they
were getting.

One of the things that I like most about the splash page is the opportunity
to show off a rather large piece of art work (you'll notice that I used the
digital painting of a tiger here) and at the same time gives the "surfer" a
very good feel for the site before being bombarded with text and so forth...
At times I feel that even a graphic works without a single word - as you can
see on the splash page for my site entitled "Love Letters"
http://www.silverstardesigns.com/loveletters
It's simple, but totally drives in the point of the site...
Hope these give you something to ponder. Best of luck!

"...Sometimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all.
It's about what's going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly
the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever
the pain, because the pain of not being true is far, far greater..."
